“We have had the best of days!’

Janice Valentine, Career Transition Specialist, Long Beach Polytechnic High School

Janice Valentine says her students had a great day at the Lift & Move USA event hosted by Bragg Companies in Long Beach, CA, November 2016. It opened the eyes of her students to career opportunities that don’t involve a four year college degree.

‘Addressing the skills shortage’

Brett Melvin, Former Executive Director, Lift & Move USA

Brett Melvin explains the thinking behind Lift & Move USA, and places the program in the wider context of the skills shortage in the USA.

Industry veteran Bill Smith says if you enjoy working outdoors and don’t necessarily want to go to college then a career in the crane, rigging and specialized transport industry might be the perfect choice for you.
